Hey, if you have any questions about it I suspect Ray will respond. He is really great at cabinet work. I still can't figure out how he fixed that disaster. He is a little shy. A man of few words. We owned a boat together in So. Cal. It had a lot of teak and moored in salt water. He would only let me do a little sanding. He put on the final coat of varnish. I just took care of the twin diesels. I'm better at that.

Just a note on this radio. It was headed for the junk yard when my nephew kinda as a joke dropped it off at my house. I don't know how may years it set in an outside shed, but is was well weathered and de-laminated in many places. I decided to take it on as a challenge. Now that it's finished i'm glad I did.

This is a picture of a cabinet that Ray made for me for my Scott 16A. After spending a night at his house I noticed a very nice side table. Asked him if he could build one to my specs for my Scott. He also made an exact replica of the 800B for the grill cover. Sorry for the quality of the picture and my poor finish of the cabinet. Also sorry I don't seem to be able to rotate the picture. Just turn your head. Icon_crazy
